Did you buy any Vinyl today?

Pantera-Far Beyond Driven new Rhino pressing.
One of the best metal bands of the 90's and IMHO their best album.

Better than CFH? Really?

Oh yeah, by far. Maybe it has something to do with the fact it was the first album I heard from them. I'd even rate Vulgar Display a close second to Far Beyond Driven. When FBD came out I was just crushed by the sound and still am today.
Cheers.

White Stripes Elephant 2 x lp £8 Mint

Sounds so much better than the CD

Picked up a green label WB copy of Alice Cooper - Killer. Good shape for it's age.

Great time at the Eugene Record Convention today!

Somewhat disappointing. Great music but very noisy background. Maybe just tape hiss from the original tapes but seems much, much louder than most of my lp's.

And a very good music...I think, I have that one....

Which pressing? Had to go back and listen to my mono UA Australian press... and I think I'm with you on this one.

Will have to try with a different cart in a few days.

Aside from that... I think it's some of the finest jazz ever laid to tape

Yes. It was the only ACB album I didn't have on vinyl. Scored a cardboard sleeve copy of Muscle of Love last week.

It's a new pressing. I have to say one of my big pet peeves is when you get a new pressing and there is no information at all about when it was made, who pressed it, was it remastered and if so by whom. Not even a sticker on the outer sleeve. Nothing on the label. Hell, it might as well be an original pressing. You wouldn't be able to tell otherwise.

Two cheap finds today in good condition. £1.50 each



Nice copy but to be honest re affirmed that most Simple Minds tracks are messy song writing with messier arrangements fronted by an iffy vocal performance, god knows why I used to like them..



On Vinyl (couldn't find an image) to be honest I didnt even know there were other albums apart from "Everything different now".. Nice though and made up for the Simple Minds

OMG! Zeppelin I, III, and IV!!!!! Near mint too, just needs a little dusting.

Led Zeppelin albums are not rare in US and in US pressings.
If it press of 70's or re-issue in 80's, simply by looking at catalogue numbers.
Pressed in 70's would have SD and 4 digit number, re-issues would have SD and 5 digit number.
I'm surprised seeing in local record store LZ re-issue albums priced @ $20 or so...simply too overpriced. UK pressings I've seen only at record shows, like WFMU...

OMG I would say, if I did found LZ LP I with brown/purple label or LZ II, III or IV with Atlantic While Label(Promo) for less than a $100 each....

I don't collect all of Alice Cooper, just earlier...until 1978.
I have bought at some record show "Love It To death" - on Straight with a "thumb" on the cover for $3.

Arrived yesterday – Secretly Canadian repress of Swell Maps A Trip To Marineville with Loin Of The Surf 7" Beautifully done repro of the original issue with a nice quality pressing and sounds great. (I'm not sure which master they used – it certainly doesn't have the tape drop-out that Nikki Sudden's fantastic CD remaster has on track 1.)

I have a Rough Trade original

Jimod99,
Your'e lucky. I never bought one at the time. I would have liked an original but I'm getting cold and burnt fingers attempting to buy any blatantly popular music on s/h LP. Last two pop albums (Man Who Sold the World, Roxy 1st) I bought were badly graded and I had to ask for refund. As for Marineville I think those LPs got played because it was very good, and so although I'd still like the original, I think I'll bide my time. To be honest I got tired and when the new pressing promised to be like the original (in format), I went for it. But it feels a little wrong buying represses with all that old stuff waiting for loving new homes. And then the price of mint stuff seems to be going through the roof like an old Vostok to the stars and no sign of it coming back down.

The best LPs are those which no one much listens to, if at all. Morton Feldman, Xenakis, No Pussy Footing, even Fahey all worked out well. Certainly contemporary modern and avant-garde composition is a winner. I think if you don't own one already (I do) then an original Metal Machine Music is likely to be mint. My moto is find all the stuff people hate (or pretend to like) and buy that instead.
